The monthly newspaper Western Woman Voter began publication following the November 1910 passage of wpmen's suffrage in Washington State. Founded by Seattle lawyer and suffragist Adella Parker, Western Woman Voter was published from January 1911 to January 1913 "in the interest of enfranchised women of the west." With suffragist colleagues from California, Parker promoited her progressive views on political and social reform, and dealt with questions of city and state government, the legal rights of women, and legal matters related to the home, children, and schools. The paper also reported on the civic activities of women voters elsewhere, and featured "good government news from everywhere."

This cover of the first issue of The Western Woman Voter features a cartoon of people in a bandwagon, holding the flags of five states where women could vote: Washington, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Colorado.
